Trigger warnings ⚠️ 🩸 play 🔪 Murder And a few others. So read the trigger warnings I loved Haunting and Hunting Adeline. I love Sibby's character in the book and was curious about her. I am glad she has her own book. Let's just say she had a messed up childhood growing up. It was sad.

Honestly if you have read Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline just skip this book. You get more of an insight to Sibby’s storyline but it could have been it’s own chapter in Haunting Adeline. There is not really any additional information that is helpful to the story.

challenging dark fast-paced

3.25

I read Haunting Adeline first because I didn’t know this book existed. With that being said, this was a short backstory for a character I actually grew to love in the duet. The first chunk of this is torture porn, pretty literally. I skimmed through the gore and most of everything except Sibby’s backstory and the very end. I’m not sure if reading this before the duet would be better or worse, but I am glad to at least have some insight into her character.

I think I would have enjoyed this more if I read it in between Haunting and Hunting Adeline. I didn't know the character, since I read this first, so I wasn't really invested in her story. I was amused by the twist at the end though. Also this book made me cringe at some of the torture scenes, so good job on that aspect haha.
